Challenge event 21. Best hand. IMPS.
The declarers started the same way
(GiB misdefended)
Please click Next to see the initial play.

Both declarers reached this 5 card ending with the lead in dummy.
but I misplayed :(
What now?

You can only afford to lose 1 trick, if E has ♦A you can't do it as he will have hearts to cash, so cash ♣AK and play a diamond towards the K, you will make 2 clubs, a diamond and a spade

CyberYeti makes 9 tricks, as did SMerriman :) I stupidly cashed the 4th ♠, so West won the last 2 tricks with ♦A and a ♠ :(
